Title
Exploring the domestication of thermal imaging
Abstract
Recent work demonstrated the opportunities of thermal imaging in the development of novel interactive systems. However, the exploration is limited to controlled lab setups. Hence, little we know about how thermal imaging could be useful for a broader range of daily applications by novice users. To investigate the potential of domestication of thermal imaging, we conducted an exploration with a technology-cultural probe. Ten households (26 individuals) used a mobile thermal camera in their daily life. We collected thermal photos taken by the participants and conducted interviews after using the camera. We found that the users were excited about using thermal cameras in their everyday lives and found many practical uses for them. Our study provides insights into how novice users wish to use thermal imaging technology to augment their vision in daily setups, as well as identifying and classifying common thermal imaging use cases. Our work contributes implications for designing thermal imaging devices targeted towards novice users.
